Products and Services

• SpagoPix (SN132D): This product represents a significant advancement in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as it serves as a contrast agent currently under a Phase I development stage for breast cancer treatment. Furthermore, the versatility of SpagoPix extends its application to the treatment of liver and pancreas cancer, which is under a Phase II development stage. By enhancing the contrast in MRI scans, SpagoPix aims to provide clearer, more detailed images of tumors, thereby facilitating more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning for cancer patients.

• Tumorad (SN201): With an innovative approach to radionuclide therapy, Tumorad is positioned as a promising therapeutic option for patients battling advanced and metastatic cancer. Still in the preclinical development stage, this product seeks to exploit the cancer-seeking capability of nanoparticles combined with a radionuclide, targeting and treating the disease at its source. This methodology represents a leap forward in the treatment of widespread or difficult-to-reach cancers, offering hope for more effective and targeted cancer therapies.
